In her latest gardening stry, Jessica Damian tells f the garden pests and diseases she has seen in her plants. She suggests acting quickly when dealing with these issues, as they can rapidly spread and cause significant damage t plant health and grwth.
Her measure always begins with the gentlest treatment pssible. She nly intensifies her treatments when necessary. Even then, she has her limits. Damian says she wuld rather lse a flwer r vegetable plant than use strng chemicals. In the case f her tmat plants, Damian caught the aphids, a pest, early. She washed them ff and remved the nes that wuld nt cme ff by using her fingers under mving water.
Had the invasin been severe r the water and finger remval methd been ineffective, she wuld have used Neem il. This rganic il frm Neem tree seeds, kills aphids and is safe fr plants that will be cnsumed. Hwever, she wuld apply it after sunset when helpful insects are less active.
On the same day, Damian als fund scarlet lily beetles n her Asiatic lily plants. They cver themselves in waste. This makes them less appealing t thse that wuld want t eat them. But the cating als prtects them frm chemicals, making them difficult t remve. T fight against them, she physically tapped the beetles int a mixture f water, sap, vinegar, r husehld cleaners.
Her rhddendrn, a flwering plant, gt attacked by a pest called azalea bark scale last summer. When she nticed the return f these white insects this year, she immediately remved the infested leaves. Fr the remaining leaves with a few pests, she was able t remve them by tuching each insect with sme rubbing alchl.

In the U.S., a recent trend shws a grwing demand fr natural wine, which attaches imprtance t minimal prcessing and ec-friendliness. Hwever, IWSR Drinks Market Analysis indicates that these wines still make up less than ne percent f sales in 2021. Despite a general decline in wine buyers since 2015, demand fr natural wines is n the rise at a significant pace, as said by Drizly, an nline alchl delivery service.
Natural wines typically use rganic grapes, aviding chemicals fr pest and weed cntrl. Traditinal methds like ft treading (踩) are smetimes emplyed fr crushing grapes. Afterwards, the crushed grapes ferment (发酵) naturally. Manufacturers dn’t add water, yeast r ther substances. There are sme exceptins. Sme natural winemakers add extra sulfites fr preservatin. Others clarify the wine t get rid f any small piece that culd make it lk cludy, resulting in the earthy and unique flavr.
Hwever, the market faces barriers due t a lack f set definitins fr natural wine, creating cnfusin and marketing challenges. As Prfessr Anita Oberhlster frm UC Davis suggests, defining “natural wine” culd help its grwth. Yet, industry pinins vary n regulatin: while sme supprt fficial guidelines, thers, like Jhn Keller f Neu Cellars, wrry abut higher csts invlved with certificatin.
CEO f Vinvest, Anthny Zhang sees anther prblem. Sme wine cmpanies are prfiting using labeling cntent like imagery that suggests their wine making is natural when they are nt. The Eurpean Unin has taken measures t stp this by requiring wines sld in its markets t list all cntained substances, starting December. It’s expected that the U.S. may sn adpt similar regulatins, increasing transparency fr cnsumers. With these advancements, buyers may sn be able t make mre infrmed purchases.
28. Why des the demand fr natural wine grw?
A. Its flavr is better than ther wines’.B. Cnsumers’ preference has changed.
C. Drizly has started its nline delivery.D. Its prductin prcess is ec-friendly.
29. What des the underlined wrd in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. natural flavrsB. special grapesC. chemical cmpundsD. wine cntainers
30. What’s Jhn Keller’s cncern?
A. Decreased demand fr natural wines.B. The ptential rise in prductin csts.
C. Changes in the taste f natural wines.D. Lss f mdern wine-making methds.
31. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the passage?
A. Old Ways f Making Wine Gain New Fans
B. Mre Cmpanies Admire Natural Elements
C. New Ways t Imprve Natural Wine’s Flavr
D. Mre Strategies t Prmte Natural Wine Well

The Eurpean Parliament vte t bring the EU’s air quality standards in line with the WHO but decided t delay ding s until 2035.
Sinkevicius said that air quality is indeed imprving due t effective clean air plicies. Beynd death cunts, the EEA als assessed air pllutin’s brader impact n diseases such as asthma, chrnic bstructive pulmnary disease, and diabetes, stressing nt nly mrtality but the quality f life impacts. EEA researcher Albert Gnzalez Ortiz pinted t severe disability states caused by these cnditins, wrsened by air pllutin.
The EEA’s cmprehensive apprach shws that while the fight against air pllutin has seen prgress, immediate actin is still critical t reduce pllutin and reduce its widespread effects n public health.

A. T stress the risk f PM2.5 in the EU.B. T illustrate the impact f air pllutin.
C. T prve the imprvement in air pllutin.D. T shw the guidelines f EEA lse cntrl.

C. Uncertain abut its impact.D. Optimistic abut its prgress.
35. What is the main fcus f the passage?
